http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/business/technology/7974238.htmTwo weeks before California's March 2 primary, a group alleging widespread potential security glitches in electronic voting machines is asking a judge to make counties install new safeguards before voting begins.
*SNIP*
Court officials scheduled a hearing on the issue at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, along with an accompanying lawsuit seeking to stop the state and Diebold from using ``insecure'' voting machinery. California counties are using three versions of Diebold systems to register votes and the company's software to tally them.

The new legal challenge comes as 10 counties are already balking at Secretary of State Kevin Shelley's directive to further protect Diebold and Sequoia Voting Systems machines before the primary. Shelley, expressing fears of skewed election results from software corruption or malfunctions, has ordered random testing and other extra measures to guarantee accuracy on March 2.

Diebold has consistently maintained that its voting systems are effective and safe and have accused critics of a ``multitude of false conclusions."
This suit was filed by Bev Harris, Jim March, et al, and accuses Diebold of fraud, willfull violations of state and federal election laws. The first major campaign of the war for democracy has begun.
